Killer Instinct - November

Title: Building Conflict from the Head Down

Instructor: Laurie Schnebly

Class Description: Great conflict comes from not only the situation, but from within the characters themselves. How can a writer set that up?
It starts with each character's personality. In this brand new class, Laurie Schnebly Campbell shows tools for shaping basic personalities into heroic, appealing (or dastardly) people who will naturally come into conflict with one another...and also with themselves. Never before offered online, this interactive session will explore:

• How to build conflict in from the very beginning
• The main personality types and what they love/hate
• Three distinct subtypes that make a big difference
• Creating conflict WITHIN genuine, plausible people
• Conflict BETWEEN those same people (and others)
• Resolving it all, without a "too convenient" ending

Instructor Bio: Laurie credits her counseling background for building the conflicted characters who beat out Nora Roberts for "Best Special Edition Of The Year." Her latest book is a how-to for writers, and she's spoken on psychology issues for groups from London to Los Angeles and New Zealand to New York.
In fact, she loves doing live and online programs so much that she chose her website, Book Laurie dot com, so writers would find it easy to Book Laurie for workshops!
